Emperor Norton:
And before anyone thinks I'm saying Angus isn't also responsible for the situation... I'm not.
Angus has consistently been sort of oblivious to things going on around him. And he does tend to talk before he thinks, which is where I think the "Can't you just be happy for me" came from.
He really is the anti-Marten in a lot of ways. Marten is observant of his friends feelings and tends to overthink before he deals with issues. Angus misses things entirely and tends to speak before thinking. Marten is passive, Angus is assertive. Marten doesn't know what he wants in life, Angus is going after his dreams.
On the other hand, both of them, when aware of an issue and have had time to process, have shown they are caring and sensitive individuals.

I reread all your posts before I made the last reply. Please, explain how this sentence says anything other than: Angus has to do the work to make the relationship work.
And here is the other part of this: Even if you think this is true, this is just going to build resentment and cause its own damage. Faye has to either learn to carry part of the load, or it will, eventually, lead to resentment. This is something else we saw in Dora and Marten's relationship.

My grandpa used to captain a tugboat, so it is not as though I'm unfamiliar with the term, but I keep misreading that as 'tub goat.'

Funny, I almost made a comment about a DUKW, but I didn't know if anybody'd get it.

I would; we've got several doing tourist runs through the city and then onto the river here in London.
